Scorching climate records call for real solutions
Scorching climate records call for real solutions Renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation offer numerous advantages over fossil fuels beyond climate benefits. As the world breaks heat records, our biggest roadblock is fossil fuel companies, and their influence.

Rest is good, but resolving global crises means not looking away
Rest is good, but resolving global crises means not looking away Photo by Gary Bell/gettyimages.ca When people do things they shouldn’t, they often try to distract attention from their actions. Guardian writer George Monbiot notes that many corporations fuelling the planet’s destruction spend significant resources to shift attention away from themselves and onto us. “The […]
Major Health Study Shows Benefits of Combating Climate Change
Major Health Study Shows Benefits of Combating Climate Change During the holiday season, people often drink toasts to health. There’s something more we can do to ensure that we and others will enjoy good health now and into the future: combat climate change. “Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century, and […]
Decades of Denial and Stalling Have Created a Climate Crunch
Decades of Denial and Stalling Have Created a Climate Crunch In a 1965 speech to members, American Petroleum Institute president Frank Ikard outlined the findings of a report by then-president Lyndon Johnson’s Science Advisory Committee, based in part on research the institute conducted in the 1950s. “The substance of the report is that there is still […]
Ocean Warming Study Criticism Shows How the Scientific Method Works
Ocean Warming Study Criticism Shows How the Scientific Method Works Errors in a recent ocean warming study illustrate global warming’s complexity. They also show the depths to which climate science deniers will stoop to dismiss or downplay evidence for human-caused climate change. The study by researchers from the U.S., China, France and Germany concluded, “ocean warming […]
Energy Efficiency and Technology Squeeze the Carbon Bubble
Energy Efficiency and Technology Squeeze the Carbon Bubble The carbon bubble will burst with or without government action, according to a new study. That will hurt people who invest in fossil fuels. As energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies improve and prices drop, global demand for fossil fuels will decline, “stranding” new fossil fuel ventures — […]
We ignore urgent global warnings at our peril
We ignore urgent global warnings at our peril City lights in this nighttime view of Earth from space provides “an intuitively graspable view of our planet”. (Photo: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center via Flickr) A year ago, we revisited the 1992 “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity.” Signed by a majority of Nobel laureates in sciences […]
Faulty Logic Fuels Fossil Fools
Faulty Logic Fuels Fossil Fools Apparently, fossil fuel companies protect watersheds and rivers by removing oil. That’s according to comments on the David Suzuki Foundation Facebook page and elsewhere, including this: “The amount of contamination occuring [sic] from extraction is far less than if we just left the oil there to continue polluting the waterways.” […]
David Suzuki: We Can’t Dig Our Way Out of the Fossil Fuels Hole
David Suzuki: We Can’t Dig Our Way Out of the Fossil Fuels Hole I’ve often thought politicians inhabit a parallel universe. Maybe it’s just widespread cognitive dissonance, coupled with a lack of imagination, that compels them to engage in so much contradictory behaviour. Trying to appease so many varying interests isn’t easy. Rather than focusing on […]
Will Cap-And-Trade Slow Climate Change?
Will Cap-And-Trade Slow Climate Change? The principle that polluters should pay for the waste they create has led many experts to urge governments to put a price on carbon emissions. One method is the sometimes controversial cap-and-trade. Quebec, California and the European Union have already adopted cap-and-trade, and Ontario will join Quebec and California’s system in January […]

Zero Carbon Emissions: The New Language Of Climate Change
Zero Carbon Emissions: The New Language Of Climate Change This is a guest post by David Suzuki. If nothing else, the G7 countries’ recent agreement to end fossil fuel use for energy by 2100 signals a shift in the way we talk and think about global warming. Previous agreements were about reducing carbon emissions from burning coal, […]
Water Is Life; We Can’t Afford To Waste It
Water Is Life; We Can’t Afford To Waste It How long can you go without water? You could probably survive a few weeks without water for cooking. If you stopped washing, the threat to your life might only come from people who can’t stand the smell. But most people won’t live for more than three […]
